Our guild has received two packages of blocks from the International QuiltCon Challenge (Read all about this charity project here!) to expand into a 68″ X 88″ Twin bed quilt for the Austin Children's Shelter. We can achieve this by adding blocks, adding negative space, or some combination of the two. During the meeting we'll discuss layout options for all of the blocks and sign up volunteers to participate in finishing them. They need to be machine quilted, bound, and washed in advance of QuiltCon next February.

Members of the guild contributed blocks to this butterfly quilt, a tutorial for the block can be found at Fresh Lemons Quilts. We will be donating this quilt to Friends of Annie, a charity founded by Jessica Sloan of Remnants:fiber[culture].
